Product Description
Double vinyl LP pressing housed in gatefold sleeve including digital download. LP One features the remastered edition of the original album. Digitally remastered and expanded edition of The Guitar and Other Machines, the sixth studio album by Manchester ensemble The Durutti Column, originally released by Factory Records in 1987. The origin of The Guitar and Other Machines was the Christmas present given by Factory founder Tony Wilson to Durutti mainman Vini Reilly in 1985. "He gave me another kick and bought me a load of electronic instruments," revealed Reilly at the time. "I never dreamt of getting into this electronic thing, and I struggled and fought and stayed up til half seven in the morning and really worked on it. I know that Tony's got this vision and I persevered. And I found a way of using a sequencer that isn't like New Order - it's my way, and it's my music." Produced by Stephen Street (The Smiths; Morrissey), the album also features percussionist Bruce Mitchell and viola player John Metcalfe.
Customer Reviews
Brilliant 3CD deluxe edition of one of the best DC albums imo. I won’t say any more about the music as we could be here for hours - it’s great.What’s interesting here is that these 3CDs pull together the original album, and a ton of bonus material with no omissions. There is even the ‘a night in new york’ Live disc included. Someone mentioned that it doesn’t include all the live At womad tracks - it does include all the ones relevant to this album, the other tracks are versions from the Vini Reilly album.The price is good for what you get, and I like the packaging but I agree with another reviewer (not as so much to give it 2 stars though) that a booklet with original photos and artwork would have been good.
